Design plans for the XJS got underway in 1965, with the first production car being sold in 1975. The car was primarily designed by Malcolm Sayer, with input and control from Sir William Lyons. With Jaguar struggling financially at the time, the XJS needed to be a big success. The highly anticipated XJS was seen by many as a direct replacement to the very popular E-Type. However, when the XJS was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1976, it was clear that the car was intended to be in a league of its own. In 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996.

Manufactured in 1991 and thus an early facelift example, ‘J642 PDE’ is presented in the attractive Arctic Blue with contrasting beige leather interior and boasts an impressive factory specification including cruise control, heated seats with memory, lumbar support, power jet and CD multichanger. Offered with just 56,358 miles on the odometer and just 4 former keepers, ‘J642 PDE’ is supplied with an MOT certificate valid until 17 February 2023. Included with the vehicle is the original bookpack including service pack stamped from 1991 to 2015, a number of previous invoices and MOTs, the V5C document and the vehicle’s tool kit and spare wheel. The vendor rates the condition of the paintwork as 'Good to Very Good', and the Bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, transmission and interior trim all as 'Very Good'.
